Nigerian Pilgrim returns $5,000 lost in Mecca

A Nigerian pilgrim, Hajiya Zainab from Plateau State, has returned $5,000 (about N8.24 million) she found at Masjidul Haram in Makkah to its Russian owner

Zainab discovered the lost money on Tuesday, May 27, and her honesty was praised by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) and the Plateau State Pilgrims Board, led by Hon. Daiyabu Dauda.

Dauda commended her, saying, “She demonstrated exceptional integrity and honesty by returning $5,000 she found in Masjidul Haram to its rightful owner. That’s a remarkable act of kindness.”

Meanwhile, NAHCON revealed it is in talks with Saudi authorities about resuming visa issuance for Nigerian pilgrims.

In a statement on Wednesday, May 28, Fatima Sanda Usara, Assistant Director of Information and Publications, said Nigeria and other countries are urging Saudi Arabia to reopen visa processing.

Usara expressed hope for a positive outcome, adding, “When that is realised, the Commission will immediately transport the registered pilgrims for the Hajj in another special arrangement.”
